it drives like a b4 with lots of weight at the rear and with bb shocks..

they all felt like that

In the past i have had to put a small shim (you can use an axle shim) on the top shaft before the slipper assembly. This should fix your issue.

Yes they do last longer but since there harder you have to grease them slightly more often

doez this sound right i had to tighten down my diff all the way to make the diff not slip. Ive had so many problems with this vehicle oh and the slipper had to be almost tightened all the way to get that not to slip. This is like the build from hell for me.

Carbide diff balls and ceramic thrust..ceramic diff balls are too hard..they will bark if diff is not perfect also..sand your rings and it will be smooth and the best diff you have ever built

Not doing anything wrong... But ok put some logic and common sense into it and you'll realize that the harder diff balls will use more diff lube try it for yourself

How many spacers do you use between the drive pin(through the axle pin) and the hub? Is it 2 or 3 on each side?

i believe you were talking to me ha. Nah my big problems were all with the diff and slipper. I followed the instructions and the video provided to build the diff and the slipper is easy to put together never had problems with one until now. Is it a possibility i used to much grease and stuff on the ball diff that it slips that much. Also so i got it all together and it seems smooth when im just spinning with hands than i gas it and right off the start it sounds odd and spins weird than as it gets faster the noise goes away and sounds great

I tapped the rears out to 2-56 and used a (IIRC) 1/4" long cap screw. No need to drill the tapped side, but I did have to drill out the open side.
